# §3515.18. Will I be notified when BLM is considering initiating an exchange that will affect my lease?


Yes. The notice you receive will:

- (a) State why we believe an exchange would be in the public interest;
- (b) Ask whether you are willing to negotiate for an exchange;
- (c) Contain a description of the lands for which we would offer exchange terms; and
- (d) **Ask you to describe the lands on which you would accept a lease in exchange for your present holdings.**
